<<Why do you think liberals are so against the voucher program? Afraid all those christians will leave the Godless government schools and miss out on a decent secularist upbringing? Can't have freedom of choice now can we? Can't allow parents to decide which school is best for their kids can we?>> I am against the voucher system because I am against supporting religious schools with tax payers money. I was raised Catholic and my parents sent me and paid for Catholic grammar school and high school. They didn't complain that they had to pay taxes and tuition. So unless there are no parochial schools in your area you do have a choice. You just have to pay for it. <<Nowhere is this false notion more clear than in the creation-evolution debate. Ahhh, but we hear the cry from the left! "evolution is an undisputable fact!". "We can't ignore science".>> Guess what I was taught in that Catholic high school - the theory of evolution. But first of all we were taught that a theory is not necessarily fact. Once a theory is proven it is not a theory any more. This definition applies to all theories not just evolution. I was also taught that it was ok to believe that evolution took place as long as you believed God was behind it. I was told that in the bible it took God 6 days to create the earth but that a biblical day is not necessarily 24 hours. A day could have been millions of years. What was God's hurry? Does he have an appointment to make that he had to do it so fast? Of course not. God basically does not have much to do except watch over the universe. So what if it takes a few million years here or there. I don't mean to be sarcastic here but I think we need to get away from the literal interpretation of the bible. Erase Hate, Dennis
